Photo challenge Week 1 - Landscape with a tree focus


So this is the first week of our 52 week challenge! A photo a week for a whole year... am really hoping it will encourage me to keep using my camera and keep learning new skills. 

For this weeks challenge I headed out to Western Springs in Auckland New Zealand. We went for a family dinner picnic as I had read dusk is the best time to shoot landscape pictures. Looking through some of the examples I really liked a shot that had the tree trunk in focus and city lights out of focus in the background. It wasn't really a landscape but this was my attempt to do something similar while keeping with the theme. I think it probably would have looked better if the background was more crisp but I love all the detail of the tree trunk and I quite like the ducks in the background too. 

Yay week one done!! What will next week's theme be...
